In springtime, there simply aren’t words to describe the transformation that takes place. Given the diversity of species in our region, the flowering period lasts exceptionally long, with each species revealing itself at different times, and in a rainbow of colors, from yellow to white, pink, purples and lavenders.

The summer is also an excellent time to visit our area given that the dense vegetation, and water-filled ravines and ponds all provide a refreshing escape from the heat.

The autumn coincides with the olive harvest season, when the trees are especially radiant, and the ground is covered in a thick blanket of vibrant green vegetation.

Some winters bring snow, although it is rare at this altitude. Given the humidity, the landscape remains very green despite the lower temperatures.

One of our greatest marvels is our perfectly conserved forest of cork oaks, many of which intermingle with our olive trees. Occasionally, the cork bark is removed, which involves a traditional transportation process using mules on the steep rocky roads. In doing so, certain paths have been created that allow us to explore the heart of these forests, which would otherwise be absolutely inaccessible.

Given our region’s special protection, we do our best to thoughtfully work with the land, causing the least amount of impact possible. Our mountain getaway, which uses wind and solar power, is made up of four small buildings (three of wood; one of adobe) and offers incredible views of the nearby reservoir and Sierra de Gredos mountain range. Our space allows visitors a comfortable respite to sample our olive oils, taste local products, and to learn more about olive agriculture. It also gives us the flexibility to customize visits for larger groups or businesses and related meals and special events. To learn more, please contact us.

The views from the farm not only extend to the Gredos mountain range, but also include the Valdecañas reservoir, one of the largest in the Tagus Basin. The ancient town of Talavera la Vieja, and the ruins of the Roman city of Augustobriga are hidden below its waters. Though the remains of the latter are only visible during drought, its famous marble columns have been conserved in a new, above-water location, and are the only preserved construction of their kind in the world.
